It is most likely some kind of infection. But you should get her tested with an Ultrasound of the abdomen if it persists. Also helpful would be information whether there is pain in the nodes and is there any discharge from the belly button. Also keep a check on her fever if it recurs and how high it goes - measure it with a thermometer. Will look forward to hearing from you. Take care.
